DR. P.C. Mishra,MD.
ACUTEPANCREATITIS.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? An acute condition presenting with abdominal

pain usually associated with raised

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

blood/urine pancreatic enzyme as a result of

pancreatic inflammation.

? Reversible pancreatic parenchymal injury

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

associated with inflammation.
ACUTE PANCREATITIS.

? PATHOPHYSIOLOGY?

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Premature activation of

pancreatic enzymes within the pancreas.

? Anything that injures the acinar cells and impairs

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

the secretion of zymogen granules or damages

the duct epithelium and thus delays enzymatic

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

secretion , can trigger acute pancreatitis.

? Once cellular injury has been initiated , the

inflammatory process can lead to pancreatic

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

oedema, haemorrhage, and eventually necrosis.
ETIOLOGY.

? acute pancreatitis-

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? As an acute inflammatory process of the

pancreas with variable involvement of other regional

tissues or remote organ system.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Two major causes are--
? Biliary calculi(50-70%)
? Alcohol abuse (25%).

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? The remaining causes may be idiopathic or rare.
? Approx. 25 % cases of Acute pancreatitis.
? Act by increasing the synthesis of enzymes by

pancreatic acinar cells.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Over-sensitization of acini to cholecystokinin.
? SMOKING-
? cigarette smoking is an independent

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

risk factor for acute and chronic pancreatitis.
HYPERTRIGLYCERIDEMIA.

? Serum concentration above 1000 mg/dl ppt. Attacks of

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

acute pancreatitis.

? A triglyceride level higher than 2000 mg/dl confirm the

diagnosis of acute pancreatitis.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Hypercalcemia-

Hypercalcemia of any cause can lead to acute

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

pancreatitis.

? Deposition of calcium in the pancreatic duct and calcium

activation of trypsinogen within the pancreatic parenchyma.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Causes of Acute pancreatitis.

? Gall stone.
? Alcoholism.
? Abdominal trauma.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Hyperparathyroidism.
? Hypercalcaemia.
? Autoimmune pancreatitis.
? Viral infection.
Gall stone pancreatitis.

? Transient blockage of common bile duct--

reflux of bile into pancreatic duct and impair

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

flow of normal pancreatic juice ?premature

activation of pancreatic enzymes within duct

system.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

CLINICALLY.

? Presenting with 2 of the following 3 criteria

? Epigastric pain consistent with pancreatitis.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Serum amylase or lipase level greater than 3

times the upper limit of normal.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Radiologic imaging consistent with pancreatitis(

usually CT or MRI ).

Abdominal Examination.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? 1.Inspection-- abdominal distension.
? 2.Palpation--
? Hepatomegally.
? Tenderness.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Cullen sign.(Blue

discoloration around umblicus)

? Gray turner sign. ( Blue red

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

purple discoloration around flank).

? Peritoneal sign
? Rigidity and Guarding.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Percussion--
? Dullness suggesting ascites.

Auscultaion-

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? ascultate the abdomen for hypoactive

or an absent bowel sound.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

INVESTIGATION.

? Biochemical---

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Serum Amylase increase 3x than

normal or more than 1000IU/mL.( Peak within

the first 24 hrs after onset of symptom.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Serum lipase has longer half life thus more

useful in delayed case.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Serum lipase: more sensitive and specific for

pancreatitis than Amylase.
Amylase and Lipase.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Elevated serum amylase and Lipase levels in

combination with severe abdominal pain. Often

trigger the initial diagnosis of acute pancreatitis.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Serum lipase rises 4 to 8 hrs from the onset of

symptoms and normalise within 7 to 14 days

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

after treatment.

? Marked elevation of serum amylase level during

24 hrs.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? If lipase level is about 2.5 to 3 times that of

Amylase, it is an indication of pancreatitis due to

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Alcohol or gall stone.
Biochemical investigation.

? Serum amylase-
? Levels turn normal after 48-72 hrs even

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

with the continuing of pancreatitis, serum lipase should be sent
that remains high for 7-14 days.

? Persistent elevation suggests pseudocyst,

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

pancreatic abscess or non pancreatic

cause(intestinal obstruction, mumps,narcotics).

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Serum lipase- Remains elevated for 7-14 days. It is diagnostic.
Serum Lipase.

? The sensitivity of serum lipase is similar to that

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

of serum Amylase and is between 85% to

100%.

? Lipase may have greater specificity for

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

pancreatitis than amylase.

? Serum lipase always is elevated on the first

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

day of illness and remains elevated longer

than does the serum amylase.
